Hilachas is the Spanish word for those little loose threads that fall all over the floor and sewing area as you finish sewing and snip the tail end of the thread off the sewn area. So does this blog entail the odds and ends of topics of interest, leaving more loose threads to ponder...

Good Night, Irene

Encouraging Words of the Day:

The LORD is with me; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me? ~ Psalm 118:6, NLT

I've been working on my latest project, the project that has my name on it. The "Good-night, Irene" quilt" is being hosted by Terry from "Terry's Treasures" and is made up largely of 2.5 inch squares. I've made a good start and have this to show you:

I have a pile of 2.5 inch charms so I'm still happily sewing away creating my scrappy quilt. These little squares make great "starters and enders" as I'm sewing on other projects so I like that part of it as well. Ok, then, until Wednesday...

Looks great! How could you resist a quilt with your name on it and inspired by a song? I'm singing along, "Irene, Goodnight Irene, Irene Goodnight..." You nkow there was a terrible song in the seventies with my name, "J-j-j-ulianne what a fool I am..." and my siblings would tease me mercilessly with it and changing the lyrics to be rude!!!
